Who, When, and Why.....

Biomass was created around ten thousand years ago. It was used by humans, or "Cave men" who made wood fires for cooking or keeping warm. It has been apart of our world and ecosystem for a while. Biomass was created in order to form heat. Overtime, it has been altered into energy sources that our daily lives consist of. It is a very important part of our world.

What is biomass?

Biomass is organic matter used as fuel to supply power. It comes in many forms but each one performs the same way. Also it is a low carbon energy source that comes from plant materials like wood, corn, sugar cane, and grass. It can be burned to generate electricity heat.

How is it created?

The biofuel is taken to the power plant to be burned. The heat coming off of the fuel will spin a turbine creating electricity. Biomass contains stored energy because plants absorb energy from the sun.

Where is it Used?

Biomass is used and created all over our earth. It is transported for use of energy to those who need/use it. The main production occurs within the United States.
